The only thing separating the Tigers from a spot in the title game was their opening loss last Monday to Franklin High School, a game the Tigers fell 5-3. Lemoore scored all of its runs in the opening stanza and watched as Franklin scored 2 in the second, 1 in the fifth and 2 more in the ninth to break a 3-3 deadlock.
Lemoore rebounded later that day with a 1-0 victory over Cosumnes Oaks, going to extra innings and then scoring in the eighth to win. The Tigers had 6 hits in the game.
On Tuesday the Tigers crushed Hoover High School 9-1, and on Wednesday they crushed Madera South 8-3, amassing 13 hits.
Clovis High School defeated Edison in the Fresno Easter Classic finale 8-0 on Wednesday night.
